The article doesn't say when it was shot, just that someone found it washed ashore and called it in, and the people that came found it dead with gunshot wounds. ...

This. If you read this as "it was shot then washed in" you're reading details in that the article doesn't actually say.

what are you saying "why" to? americans are familiar with euthanizing horses from watching tv so it's not hard to imagine the kind of person who brings a gun to the beach seeing a stranded dolphin and thinking "oh this poor animal is suffering, good thing i'm strapped." bullets don't make it too far in water and dolphins are really heavy so it would have almost certainly been on land when they shot it

How do you know a human shot it? Maybe it broke a fin and the other dolphins had to put it down.

The prince, the plotters and the would-be putsch: Germany to try far-right coup gang

The Guardian posted:

Ex-soldier, conspiracy theorist, astrologer and anti-vaxxer among the first of 27 people on trial for trying to violently topple the German government – led by Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss
...
The would-be putchists paid a Swiss criminal gang around €140,000 (£120,000) for weapons, and had plans to search for “subterranean children’s prisons” in which they believed a secret “world government” was carrying out experiments on children.

Thomas T, a 60-year-old welder from the rocker scene in the southern state of Bavaria, together with the group’s future “trans-communications minister” Hildegard Leiding, also 60, a member of the rightwing AfD party and an astrologer, are said to have sought out candidates for the “future government” on a “spiritual basis”, according to their dates of birth, prosecutors said. A star chef from Austria with a mandate to cook healthy food for the new regime was also allegedly involved.

On trial alongside T, will be Melanie Ritter, 57, a doctor specialising in the method of predicting the future through eggs and a Covid vaccine sceptic who had expected to become health minister following the coup.

According to the indictment, former lieutenant colonel Rüdiger von Pescatore, aged 70, interpreted the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, as “the signal for an attack by allied forces on Germany” which would mark “Day X”, the coup date, according to messages he wrote in two of the groups’ various online chat groups. He expected a resulting power cut to trigger the start of the coup, but it never happened.

The German Republic is one of the wealthiest and most industrialised states in the world, I'd think it would take more than a couple of inbred loose monarchs and a criminal gang to topple.

This makes the Beer Hall Putch seem well thought and organised in comparison.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
One interesting part from this is that their approach to revolution was like this:

1. Everyone says that the power grid is very unstable, therefore it must be true (a common delusion, granted)
2. If power goes out, revolution, ???, monarchy restored!
3. The grid is stubbornly not keeling over despite us insisting that it would
4. Therefore, we should destroy power infrastructure, which will lead to revolution, ???, monarchy restored!

I just assume she being performatively quirky as part of a persona, like you said. The modern music industry is so cut throat I find it hard to believe someone who is truly stupid could last more then a month or two, even with great handlers.
